Fish Taco Salad
Visitors to Southern California (USA) might be familiar with fish tacos - a delicacy attributed to various cooks and restaurants in upper Baja California (MX).
I like them a lot (not as much as shrimp tacos) but still a great dinner item. I also like taco salad which is a bit like nachos but much healthier (or worse if you are vegetarian).
Lately I have been eating a lot of fresh fish, and I thought of making a fish taco salad. This is my 5th go at it, and I’m liking the result.
I got a side of fresh yellowtail and cut one section of it into thin slice that will cook in a minute or two on each side.
Next I fried some garlic in olive oil with diced yellow and red Bell pepper. To that I added a can of black beans (rinsed), some seasonings and hot sauce.
Then I fill the bowl half-way with mixed greens, cover that with tortilla chips, add a few spoonfuls of beans & peppers, a few spoonfuls of diced avocado, top with a few pieces of seared fish, a handful of finely grated cheese, and drizzle the remaining pan liquids on top. Add salsa if you like.
What do you think? The ladies liked it…

looking good ... but ...
a sauce or a guacamole on the side would have make it a little more juicy?
Looks wonderful!
I miss Wahoo’s Fish Tacos from when I lived in Laguna Beach. Good times! Kent
No jalapeños? . . .
. . . if you'll make fish taco salad again, I'll bring red and green jalapeños from Uncle Jake's garden along with a bottle of mezcal . 🌶
